The Xuanfu soldiers and horses walking on the road were suddenly attacked, which caught the Xuanfu soldiers, horses, companies, and generals completely off guard.
The flying stones hit the officers and soldiers on the road and caused bloodshed.
The loose formation was completely disorganized almost as soon as the stone fell, and countless officers and soldiers ran away with their heads in their hands.
"There's an ambush on the mountain."
Shouts came one after another from the mouths of the officers and soldiers who were under attack.
boom! boom! boom!
The gunman who was hiding behind the hillside stood up, holding a gun, and fired at the chaotic crowd at the bottom of the mountain.
One row of firecrackers finished playing, and the second row of firecrackers quickly took over.
Each time a fire cannon was fired, the soldiers with the Tiger Flag on the hillside moved forward one step further.
The continuous sound of gunfire prevented the officers and soldiers below from organizing a counterattack against the ambush on the hillside.
"General, we were ambushed by bandits." The soldiers guarding Wang Bao said nervously.
Not far away from them, several soldiers were stoned to death in order to protect Wang Bao. Their bodies were lying on the ground in a mess, with blood flowing all over the ground.
Under the protection of his own soldiers, Wang Bao retreated farther away from the hillside.
At this time, his face looked very ugly.
He led his troops to attack the bandit army leaving Xinpingbao together with the Datong soldiers and horses. Unexpectedly, the bandits set an ambush on his way to the Datong soldiers and horses camp.
Although stones are no longer thrown from the hillside, the sound of gunshots takes away lives one by one.
"Where are the archers! Organize the archers to fight back against the bandits on the hillside!" Wang Bao ordered loudly.
Now only the archers in the army can threaten the bandits hiding on the hillside dozens of steps away.
"General, the archers have been dispersed long ago, it's better to retreat first!" the soldier on the side reminded.
Wang Bao pushed away the soldiers blocking him and roared angrily: "If there are no archers, go look for them. If you can't find archers, send a large army to attack the bandits."
Click!
Suddenly there was a clear cracking sound, and then the towering flag was broken into two sections by a cannon, and the top section fell to one side.
Some of the soldiers around Shuai Qi were also hit by cannons, causing many casualties.
"Protect the general!"
Several soldiers protected Wang Bao behind him, and two soldiers picked up Wang Bao and retreated behind him.
"The general soldier is dead, the general soldier is dead!"
As soon as the handsome flag fell, someone among the officers and soldiers noticed it and started shouting.
The news of the death of the coach spread quickly among the Xuanfu soldiers like a plague.
The soldiers and horses of the Xuanfu who had been struggling to hold on lost their last bit of courage to fight when they heard the news of the death of their commander. Soon, more and more officers and soldiers began to flee for their lives.
Slowly, even the generals of each battalion began to flee, blending in with the swarming troops and fleeing for their lives.
"Stop them, stop them quickly, you can't retreat, you can't retreat!" Wang Bao looked anxious as he watched more and more soldiers and horses fleeing uncontrollably.
Nearly 20,000 troops were defeated. The roads were crowded with fleeing soldiers. Soldiers and armor were scattered all over the ground. All kinds of flags were also thrown on the ground and no one cared about them.
"General, let's go. It's too late if we don't leave." A soldier helped Wang Bao get on his horse.
Before the defeated soldiers could rush over, Wang Bao was protected by his own soldiers and fled in the direction he came.
The road down the hillside was crowded with officers and soldiers fleeing for their lives.
The army of more than tens of thousands of people was defeated, and countless people were jostling and jostling while fleeing. Tramples occurred all the time. Many soldiers in the camp did not die under the fire, but died in the stampede of their companions.
"The artillery team has done a great job." Chen Yunhui grinned.
Through a monocular telescope, he saw with his own eyes that Wang Bao's handsome flag was hit by a cannon and broken, which ultimately led to the defeat of the army.
"This shot was good. If it hadn't interrupted Wang Baoshuai's flag with one shot, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to defeat the army so quickly." Cheng Ping said with excitement.
The Xuanfu soldiers and horses who reinforced Yang Guozhu were defeated, which was regarded as overfulfilling the task of blocking the attack.
Chen Yunhui said: "Although Wang Bao was defeated, the strength of Xuanfu's troops and horses is still there. He cannot be given a chance to reorganize his troops, at least not a chance to reinforce Yang Guozhu, so Staff Officer Cheng..."
As he spoke, he looked at Cheng Ping beside him.
Cheng Ping also looked at him.
I heard Chen Yunhui continue: "I need the two thousand-man teams you brought to chase Wang Bao and the fleeing officers and soldiers, and put as much pressure on the fleeing soldiers as possible to prevent them from having a chance to be gathered."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Cheng Ping jumped onto the hillside and ran towards the two thousand-man troops in his camp with a few guards.
At this time, Chen Yunhui also walked to the hillside and ordered his subordinates: "The bayonets are in front, the gunmen are behind, pursue the defeated troops."
The sound of gunfire slowly stopped.
Groups of soldiers armed with bayonets came from the hillside to the road below.
"Those who surrendered squatted on the roadside with their heads in their hands, and those holding weapons were regarded as resistance."
In addition to some dead and injured people on the road down the hillside, there were more officers and soldiers who were pretending to be dead and soldiers who had no time to escape.
Groups of defeated soldiers were driven to the roadside and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.
"Yingzheng, this can't work. There are too many prisoners, and we can't send them all out to chase the defeated troops." Yang Wu, the staff officer of the supply camp, frowned and said to Chen Yunhui.
The bayonetists who came down the hillside stabbed the corpses on the ground one by one.
This made some defeated soldiers who were pretending to be dead among the corpses unable to pretend, so they had to take the initiative to stand up and become prisoners.
The roadside was already crowded with prisoners.
Chen Yunhui knew that he could not leave these prisoners alone, so he said: "I will leave two thousand-man troops for you to guard the prisoners and clean the battlefield. The others will follow me to continue the pursuit."
"Two thousand-man teams are almost enough." Yang Wu agreed.
Chen Yunhui arranged for two thousand-man teams to stay, and then took other soldiers to pursue the fleeing Xuanfu army with Cheng Ping.
Wherever the pursuers went, the defeated soldiers surrendered one after another.
There was no other way, so Chen Yunhui had no choice but to leave a force of troops behind to collect prisoners along the road.
After chasing the defeated army five miles away in the direction in which they fled, Chen Yunhui ordered the army to stop the pursuit and return with the prisoners captured along the way.
"Chen Yingzheng, I have captured a fourth-grade camp general here." Cheng Ping walked towards Chen Yunhui.
Behind him, several soldiers were escorting an army general with disheveled hair and armor.
Chen Yunhui glanced past Cheng Ping, glanced at the officer and general who was being held in custody, and then said with a smile: "Brother Cheng is lucky, but it's a pity that Wang Bao escaped."
"The monk can run away, but he can't run away from the temple. Let's wait until our tiger-character banner army reaches Xuanfu to see where he can run." Cheng Ping laughed twice.
Chen Yunhui said: "Wang Bao brought six battalions this time. This battle will at least destroy the strength of three of his battalions. In a short period of time, he is afraid that he will not dare to support Yang Guozhu anymore, and he does not know how high it is. How is the assistant division doing?"
